This luscious mane haunts the Monotype metagame! Flutter Mane's excellent offensive stats, potent STAB combination, and extensive coverage make it a must-have on Ghost teams. Moonblast threatens Dark-types like Greninja, Chien-Pao, and Hydreigon and provides near-unresisted coverage with Shadow Ball. Energy Ball hits Gastrodon, and Thunderbolt hits Gyarados and Toxapex. Mimikyu wears down opposing teams early-game and sets up Flutter Mane for success as a late-game cleaner. Brambleghast and Froslass set up Spikes to wear down Flutter Mane's switch-ins like Toxapex, Amoonguss, and specially defensive Iron Treads. Gholdengo's ability Good as Gold and Steel typing are appreciated to prevent Corviknight and Glimmora from removing the aforementioned Spikes. Hisuian Zoroark's Normal typing is heavily valued, as it prevents Pokemon such as Dragapult, Gengar, and opposing Flutter Mane from spamming Ghost-type moves.
